An employment tribunal has upheld a ruling that ex-City lawyer Gill Switalski was the victim of sexual discrimination and harassment.
Switalski is claiming £12m in compensation from her former employer F&C Assets Management for forcing her to quit her £140,000-a-year job as head of the legal team.
In March 2008, a tribunal ruled she was the victim of sex discrimination and harassment by senior management at F&C.

The firm had asked for earlier rulings to be reassessed on grounds that she misled managers
